TWO INTERESTING LETTERS,
Which Will be Doubly Entertain

j. Milton Turner Ventures Some
Gratuitous Suggestions to Rev.
Lawrence Ross and the Latter
Returns the Compliment.
Mr.. TuRNER's LETTER.

MUsKo0EEi i. i. May 20, lesI.
REV. LAWRENCE Ross, TABLE
QUAH, l. T.,-MY DEAR SIR
Knowing your sound judgment up
oil such matters and appreciating
the sincere interest you feel in
the welfare OF the Cherokee freed
men, l venture to address this note
TO you upon the subject of how
their bill pending before the Amer
lean congress may be effected by
the elections TO be held in August,
viz Both parties have made al
lusion 10 the treaty rights OF the
freedmen. In the fifth article of
the Downing platform this ques-
tion is treated by the party of
which Mr.. Mayes is the candidate
for principal chief.
That article begins by stating
that Zone great object shall be TO
keep peace and friendship among
our citizens." The phrase "our
citizens" so far as any participa-
tion in the public domain or pub
lie money is concerned can only
mean Cherokee Indians by blood.
Again: That platform promises
equal justice in the execution Of
the law, the constitution and trea-
ty. Now the execution of the law
as it exists upon the Cherokee
statutes debars all classes who are
not Cherokees by blood from any
aud all share in the money and
property Of the nation. Indeed it
would seem 10 me that equal JUS
tiee in the execution Of said laws
is not what the freedmen's best in
terests demand. 1t would have
been a more excellent way, and
one as easily employed, for that
platform TO have pledged the
Downing party TO the absolute re-
peal Of all Unequal laws which now
discriminate against adopted citi-
zens becsuse they are not Chero-
kee Indians by blood. In another
place that article expresses tho de-
sire 10 have all classes of citizens
''foel that this is their home and
that here their life, their liberty
and their property are protected. "
4 point you 10 the cunning use Of
the word "teei' in this connection.

AN OPEN LETTER OF L. T. ROSS TO
J. MILTON TURNER.

J. MILTON TURNER.
J. MILTON TURNER, ESQ, DEAR
SIR:-Your letter, written at Mus
kogee, 1. T., and dated 26th ult.,
which you had the kindness to
send me is at hand and contents
noted. In this letter you call my
attention, first, to the subject Of
how their-the freedmen-bill
pending before the American con-
gress may be effected by the cleo
ton to be held in August. Then
you mention both parties have
made allusion TO the treaty rights of
the freedman. You then enter into
a criticism Of the 5th article Of the
Downing platform, objecting TO its
phraseology and the"cunning use"
of certain words or at least one,
however. And then you have the
kindness 10 inform me their al
lusion TO the constitution and the
treaties is equally deceptive. And
then again, with equal kindness, /
am told IN your letter that the cons
titution has never been invoked in
the matter Of the freedman's rights
but once and that was in the case
of the so-called "grass money"
when the council ayailed itself Of
its constitutional powers TO con-
strue all treaty stipulations, de-
claring the 9th article Of said treaty
fails TO give the freedmen any right
to public monies or lands of the
Cherokee nation. And then / am
told "These are the laws which
the Downing party would find on
the statute books" and so found,
the Downing platform, or its ex-
ponent, would have to- execute,
without intimating their intention
Of repeating said laws or law but
on the contrary reaiiirm their in
tention Of guaranteeing to all
classes equal justice in the execu-
ton thereof; aud just at this point
you presume largely upon the ig-
norance and inability of our people
to understand the deceptive and
concealed mysteries Of the Down.
ing platform. You, in winding up
your communication, call my at
tention 10 the fact that you hearth
ly indOrse the National platform
and you are especially warm in
laudations Of the 7tA article there
OF, and closing with a feryant ap-

tiles Of true civilization the de-
mands of society and the proprie
ties due man IRON his fellow mar
the world over. The more exalt-
cd the position Of the citizen-for
individual preferment is more
often the result Of accident thar
otherwise--the more he is in
honor bound to observe the above
admonition. II is said straw:
will indicate the direction Of the
wind and then it is believed by
thousands the ALTERATION of a
certain minister in the presence of
Mr.. Blaine, and unrebuked by
him, cost him the presidency.
These may appear as triiles but
they are not, and if they were,
trifles to some are Combinations
strong as holy writ" and how Of
ten is it these "some" determine
the issues of great events. The
logical sequence of conscious
weakness, allied with ignorance,
is to become desperate in the pres
ence of defeat.
We have been led to these re-
flections by recent events occur
ring in the present political con-
test going on in this nation.
Harsh and vulgar epithets when
applied personally to a political
opponent when that opponent has
the right, not only constitutional
but heaven born, to his opinions
politically or otherwise when hon.
estly entertained, is the very es-
sence of intolerance and brands
the author a petty tyrant. Espe-
cially is this so when coming from
one high in authority and to whom
the people look for acts and ex-
pressions ofpropriety and sobrie-
ty as well. What would be
thought of the president of the
United States, should he so for
get the dignity of his position,
not to say his good breeding,
as to go upon the streets of
Washington and in the language
of a ruffian tell an honorable
citizen he was "d-n fool" SIM
ply because he differed from him
politically 1t would be not only
his political death but his social
ostricism in refined society. And
yet the sad and humiliating spec
tacle is presented almost daily at
the capital of this nation, of high
officials going upon the streets
plucking out this one and button
holing that one and when meet
ing a citizen possessing the cour-
age Of his convictions, in the YER
nacular of a vulgar backyard in
form him he is "d-n fool" No
wonder the soil of our fair land
is stained by the blood of victims,
shed by red handed assassins.
No wonder laws are so feebly exc
cuted when this demon spirit OF
intolerance is fostered, nurtured
and demonstrated in high places.
1t is high time this domineering
spirit should be rebuked and these
pigmys of tyrants taught they are
the servants of the people-not
their master. Is is too often the
fact that long leases of power breeds
gross intolerance and officials, once
so obsequious, degenerate into
disgusting instruments of oppres-
sion. In a word, he ceases to "be
gentleman" and when that is
the case, the next best thing to do
is to step down and out, which
they are certain to do, sooner or
later. "Be a gentleman" if thou
cans't not assume a virtue thou
hads't not.

Last Saturday, about ten miles
north of Tahlequah, the Downing
tics had a very pleasant barbecue.
Judge Mayes, candidate for princi-
pal chief, and Capt. Samuel Smith,
for second chief, were there. The
gathering was large and every
thing passed of quietly and pleas
antly. Barbecued beef, fish and
pork, with plenty Of good coffee
and bread, were in abundance.
Judge Mayes addressed the as
semblage in a plain, placid way,
and without any filings at the op-
posite party. He abstained from
anything of this kind, because he
deemed il cowardly and unmanly
to assail anyone in their absence.
He expressed a willingness, should
it become necessary, to go into
rough and tumble political discus
sion; to meet his opponents; that
he was prepared with material
offensive and defensive to defend
himself and party.
Capt. Smith, the nations ora
tor, addressed the people in that
easy, fluent manner of his, which
never fails to please and interest.
As a speaker, he is the best in the
nation. He looks the man, acts
the man, and is the man. He has
no superior,

ANOTHER sTaADDL1Na FEAT.

ANOTHER STRADDbIN9 FEAT.
The wonderful capacity of our
chief executive for straddling ques-
tions Of conflicting interests so as
10 appear in a line of official du-
ties, has again been shown and an
other example OF his extraordina-
ry powers of accommodation has
been given us. Adaptation to cir.
cumstances is no little qualifca-
ton, and he is no fool who can
thimble-rig himself in such a way
as to appear on both sides of a
question at the same time and be
square on both. A comfortable
consideration is this, if one can
persuade himself that everybody
is a fool, even if the contrary is
the fact.
The Arkansas Valley railroad,
for and against which there have
been so many changes of position,
has involved the nation in an
expensive muddle on account of
the crooked policy pursued to-
wards it--connived at in Wash
ington and opposed at home. Out
OF affected opposition to the road
the question Of intrusion upon our
rights as a nation by the road, was
brought 10 the attention Of the
council at regular term. A bill
at the same time was submitted
containing a provision authorizing
the chief to employ counsel in
controversies that might arise be-
tween the road and nation. The
right-of-way through our country
had been granted by congress, and
possibly if not expected, difficult
ties would arise that would re-
quire counsel to defend the nation.
No procedure against the road for
intrusion was recommended, but
objection to the allowances Of
5000 mile for the right-of-way
through the country and $500
per mile, as tax after completion,
was referred to, and some action
recommended that would author
ize the executive department to
employ counsel to except to the
allowances and to attend to such
other matters of controversy as
might arise between the road end
nation. This made constant at
torney necessary, and the purpose
was to invest the executive depart
ment with that authority. Anyone
acquainted with the history of the
times knows who that attorney
would have been.
Taking these facts in connection
with what Senator Berry, Of Ar
kansas, is reported TO have said to
President Cleveland, we find the
cause and reason for this tender
concern Of the administration.
Counsel would be needed to op-
pose that which was all right in
Washington, but all wrong here.
Senator Berry's statement to the
president has never been denied.
Silont contempt will not, nor can
do any good in convincing the
people of this nation that it is false.
If this is not coming II strong,
widely discovered extremes cut no
shine in the disagreement Of things,
especially when it seems that con-
ditions are Intentionally brought
about TO necessitate tho expendit-
ure ofthe public funds and to give
somebody employment.
These things have not been con :
demned by the candidate for chief
Of the National party, nor by his
friends Silence amounts to con
cealment and approval of matters.
This is enough to satisfy the peo-
pie that no change for the better
need be expected, should the Sec
ond chief be promoted 10 the frst.
